Singapore is expanding Primary 1 (P1) registration provisions under the Phase 2C exercise from 2027. Most primary schools will set aside 60 Phase 2C places, up from 40 previously planned or provided, according to multiple reports.
In addition, both outlets report that 12 primary schools will operate a new two-track scheme for Phase 2C. The change includes how these schools allocate places for children living farther away, with the schools keeping spots specifically for such applicants. The overall approach still involves schools reserving a defined number of Phase 2C places, but the two-track arrangement signals an adjustment in how distance-based considerations are handled at the 12 schools.
While the outlets largely align on the numbers—60 Phase 2C places becoming the norm and 12 schools receiving special handling for farther-away applicants—coverage differs mainly in emphasis: one focuses on the increase in Phase 2C capacity, while the other highlights the distance-related two-track arrangement at the 12 schools.
